Harvesting

Organic pecan nuts come from the majestic pecan trees native to North America, thriving in warm climates and well-drained soil. Harvested during the autumn months, these buttery, elongated nuts are prized for their rich flavour and natural crunch. After shelling, they can be enjoyed raw or roasted, making them a versatile ingredient for snacks, salads, baked goods, and desserts.

Packed with healthy fats, protein, and fibre, pecans are a source of essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. Their natural composition offers potential benefits for heart health, digestion, and overall wellness, making them a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.

The organic nature of Organic Pecan Nuts means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Pecan Nuts in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality.

The History of Organic Pecan Nuts

Organic Pecan Nuts have a rich history dating back to the Native American tribes who first cultivated and revered them as a nutritious and versatile food source. The pecan tree, native to North America, has been a symbol of abundance and sustenance for centuries. In the 16th century, European settlers were introduced to pecans by Native Americans, and the nuts quickly gained popularity for their buttery flavour and nutritional benefits. Today, organic pecan nuts are celebrated for their sustainable farming practices and health benefits, carrying on the legacy of their ancient heritage while meeting the demands of modern consumers seeking natural, wholesome foods.
